"A novel feature OF graphite pencil
manufacturing, said manufacturer to q
New York Sun reporter, 'is that the
graphite all comes from one locality.
while all the wood used comes from one
other locality. Graphite crops out in a
number of localities, but there is only one
mine in this country successfully worked.
That is Ticonderoga All the wood used
in pencils in the entire world is obtained
in Florida. Faber, the German manu-
facturef, had to run the blockade with
his wood during the war The entire
supply is cut by each company for itseli
ia the Gulf counties Of fernando, Leon,
Sumter and Hillsboro The wood is red
cedar. Florida cedar is considered su-
perior, because 1t is smooth, soft, free
from knots and straight grained. II is
SHIPPED in blocks seven inches long, the
regulation length Of pencil. An average
Jog yields about 5000 pencils The graph

mixed with clay, and poured into the

halves Of the pencils are then glued to
gether."

manufactured2

two of a kind, at the Paris exposition. and
were rewarded with a gold medal. The
